Hello,

If you're using a Terms aggregation there to display those numbers on the X-Axis, you could change it to a Range one and define as many ranges as you would like to see.  
If you're using a Histogram there, you can just increase the `Interval` for it, which will dictate the step on which a value will be displayed there.
